21 Reasons It’s Ok To Be Single
Especially when Facebook tells you your entire graduating class is married with baby #2 on the way (or is that just me?)
Featuring Jane Austen, Candace Bushnell, and Trace Adkins
- You have to learn to love yourself before you can ever love someone else the way they deserve to be loved.
- “There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.” {Jane Austen}
- Because good things are going to happen.
- Patience is a virtue, a good relationship is worth the wait.
- Sometimes you need to be selfish, and you can’t do that when you have at least two other people to think about.
- “Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.” {Ms Austen}
- You have so much more time for your friends! Love on them while you have some spare time!
- You will find the courage to let go of what you cannot change or control, and that is freeing.
- “I’m certainly not going to put my life on hold for him” {Candace Bushnell}
- You can wear red lipstick and not worry about someone messing it up.
- You get a lot more sleep when you’re not texting that cutie into the wee hours of the night.
- Because sometimes you really must guard your heart.
- It’s ok to say no to unnecessary crazy.
- Jane Austen said it best with “pictures of perfection make me sick and wicked.” Just because someone’s life seems perfect on Facebook, doesn’t mean it is. I know I avoid posting anything that paints me in a sad light.
- Growing up is hard enough and adulthood is overrated.
- If you’re dating someone you have to be all worried about them touching your legs and that means shaving consistently and ain’t nobody got time for that.
- “Better alone than badly accompanied” {Candace Bushnell}
- Because being single doesn’t mean you’re lonely.
- Because Trace Adkins got this right:
You’re gonna miss thisYou’re gonna want this backYou’re gonna wish these days hadn’t gone by so fastThese are some good timesSo take a good look aroundYou may not know it nowBut you’re gonna miss this
- You can’t begin to compare your journey or successes with anyone else.
- “Maybe our girlfriends are our soul mates and guys are just people to have fun with.” {Candace Bushnell}
